Frommer's Review
The handsome and elegantly appointed Inn at Penn feels well-suited to the Ivy League campus it calls home. Hilton Hotels manages the facility, the six-story keystone of the block-long Sansom Commons (also home to collegiate restaurants and shops). While pedestrians may access the inn via Walnut Street, drivers enter through a porte-cochere off the north side of Sansom Street. Expansive stairways and corridors connect entrances to registration and to the Living Room, a fully-stocked library where complimentary tea and coffee are dispensed until 4pm, and wine and spirits are sold thereafter. Artwork and bas-reliefs of U. Penn's athletic triumphs from decades past adorn the mission-style walls. The rooms are cozy, with top-quality furnishings and firm beds.
Facilities:
2 restaurants; library lounge; 24-hr. exercise room; concierge

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
